What this calculator does

Property tax is usually charged on an assessed value, which may be a fraction of market value, minus exemptions. Rates may be expressed as a percentage or in mills (per 1,000).

Formula and method

Assessed = value × assessment ratio; Taxable = assessed − exemptions Tax = taxable × rate% (or taxable × mills ÷ 1000)

How to read the results

The effective rate on market value lets you compare locations with different assessment practices.

Assumptions and limitations

  • Special assessments and local levies may apply in addition.

Financial results are estimates based on the inputs and assumptions shown. They are not financial advice; confirm figures with your lender, provider or a qualified adviser before making decisions.
